<Is it true that moving a stock to the "cash account" from "margin account" makes it unavailable for "loaning it out" for shorting?> No :( I think you have to take delivery. :( Although I think institutions can request not to loan their stock out... maybe other too, I dunno. I'll I'm really saying is, I don't think all this is worth worrying much about. Things are going to get bad enough in the real world without worrying about the cockroaches stealing some crumbs on the way to becoming extinct.
